While in Roswell for the 50th last July, I ended up waiting in a
long line at a book signing (Corso's) and met several local
residents and got into a discussion of the incident in 1947.  One
woman indicated that her father had been with the Fire Department
in 1947 and had been instructed by the military to not discuss
the incident.  She said neither she, nor anyone else in her
family had been able to get him to talk about what had happened.
This was also because the military had orderred them not to talk
about it.

Of course, this was only a conversation held in passing, and I
now have no way of confirming the tale or asking questions. Of
course Roswell is now making money from this "event", and one has
to determine whether the comments made by residents are designed
to promote the truth or tourism.

The woman I spoke with sounded sincere, but who knows.
